Background technology
Mammary cancer is that one has a strong impact on one of even life-threatening modal malignant tumour of women's physical and mental health.In China, the morbidity of mammary cancer is obvious ascendant trend, has become the modal malignant tumour of women at present.The existence of tumor stem cell is the root place of malignant tumour to have scholar to think.Therapy study display for many years, the behaviors such as radiation of resisting in the resistance of breast carcinoma stem cell in radiotherapy and medicine elimination ability, chemotherapy process and postoperative recurrence and transfer to be still in its treatment comparatively stubborn problem.Therefore, need badly and develop suitable screening method and go out breast carcinoma stem cell with Effective selection, thus in order to the research of the aspects such as pathogenesis of breast carcinoma mechanism and biotherapy.
Prior art mainly adopts the method separating mammary tumor stem cell of selected by flow cytometry apoptosis or immunological magnetic bead sorting, and its cost is higher, and flow process is loaded down with trivial details, and obtain cell viability poor, follow-up cultivation and study difficulty large.
Research finds, tumor stem cell has the feature of some uniqueness, and this forms the population of cells come in every shape in contributing to cultivating in vitro.Sub-fraction cell as human glioma cell system U251 can form compact, circular group in cultivation, most cells in these groups all has the ability of self, tumour ball can be formed, and neurone, astroglia cell and oligodendrocyte can be divided into.Breast carcinoma stem cell has multiple subgroup, and scholars infer that it also has unique constructional feature.In cultivating in vitro, the population of cells that these characteristics perhaps can make breast carcinoma stem cell come in every shape.(the Ponti D such as Ponti, et al. Isolation and in vitro propagation of tumorigenic breast cancer cells with stem/progenitor cell properties. Cancer Res, 2005,65:5506-5511.) research discovery, from 3 routine breast cancer tissues and a breast cancer cell line determined, take out cell carry out vitro culture, the tumour cell ball that can not be sticked, in these cell balls, some cell has the undifferentiated cell of self and continuous multiplication capacity.This research is pointed out, and this in-vitro culture model can be used as one of method obtaining breast carcinoma stem cell.
Three-dimensional cell culture technology is by cell seeding in certain extracellular matrix, and extracellular matrix serves as growth support, cell can be broken up and produce certain three-dimensional tissue's specificity structure.In the branch field of the developmental biology such as organization formation, vascular development and Organ Reconstruction, Three-dimensional cell culture technology is widely used.Much research finds, the culture environment of external three-dimensional is more conducive to maintenance and the performance of cell function than the culture environment of two dimension.Research shows, Three-dimensional cell culture system can promote the activity of hemopoietic stem cell effectively, hemopoietic stem cell long-term surviving still can be kept to increase cell quantity, strengthen cell division capacity when the acellular factor exists.Consider biologic bracket material---collagen, in the application in stem cell in vitro large scale culturing field, is cultivated if breast cancer cell is seeded in the three-dimensional stent material be made up of collagen, will become a more effective breast carcinoma stem cell training method.
